(ACN) Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) recently told audience members at a town hall meeting that she has "doubts" that Barack Obama's birth certificate is authentic, but when pressed, she pivoted and claimed that Barack Obama's eligibility to hold office under the Constitution of the United States, is not "the real issue."

W.A.S.S. They are ALL crooks! My country is falling failing me big time. There is little hope now that we have dumb reps like this! Mine are at the top of the list and she will not even hold a townhall.

We may not be able to stop this fraud, but we have the ability to get these sleezebags on tape answering a question or two. Let’s get them all on tape, let’s ask them all whether they know or not who is eligible for POTUS. And when they don’t answer; ask them again!

This illustrates the problem in a nutshell. I have always thought that even if every, single thing that those who doubt Obama’s legitimacy were proved true, would anyone in a position to do anything about it (the courts, Congress, etc.) really do anything about it? I have a feeling they'd just shrug their shoulders and say, well, nothing we can do, he was elected, we have to accept it. I have a feeling the that majority of the sheeple, even if evidence of Obama’s ineligibility were presented on a silver platter in front of their faces, would simply have their eyes glaze over (What Constitution? That's outdated anyhow, I heard it on the news...), shrug it off and go back to their beer by the TV. Human nature is that way. When faced with an unpleasant truth, like maybe how they made a big, big mistake electing a bum like Obama, people will find a way to minimize and rationalize it. IOW, no harm done as I see it, move along, nothing to see, zzzzz...

You've got it ‘hand.’ Why should she put her foot in it when no Republican will admit her or she has ever heard of Chief Justice Morrison Waite, whose decision turned the law familiar to our framers into precedent. Minor v. Happersett, 88 US 162, (1875):

“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”

This is a stall until the dust has settled. If Marco Rubio winds up as vice president, it is likely that the Democrats will raise the issue, because Rubio was not born to citizen parents, and Barack's potential to command distruction will have been terminated. Barack Obama has never claimed to be a natural born citizen. Limiting the presidency to natural born citizens is a negative liberty from his perspective. Barack told us in 2002 that he regards the Constitution as principally of historical significance. Barack told us he is a naturalized citizen. That is probably true. His mother's citizenship makes him a citizen, with a few caveats; but his father's non-citizenship prevents him from ever being a native, or natural born citizen.

Don't be confused. A ‘native’ is the historical term for natural born citizen, as was confirmed in Minor v. Happersett quoted above. A ‘native-born citizen of the US’ is a 14th Amendment naturalized citizen. Anchor babies are 'native-born' citizens, and not eligible to be president. There are only two classes of citizen, naturalized - by Article 1 Section 8’s charter to congress to create an uniform rule of naturalization, and natural born, from millenia of acceptance, from natural law, and as cited, both as precedent and dictum at least thirty times in Supreme Court decisions.

Ask any legislator why Minor v. Happersett no longer holds. Ask any legislator why Chief Justice John Marshall's citation of Law of Nations definition, ‘born on the soil to citizen parents’ is not still the common law, or Chief Justice Waite's precedent in Minor has been overturned. They won't answer, or will pretend they don't know. They are all liars, afraid of the consequences from the truth.

It is jackels like this clown that allow the people who could do something about his inelligibility to do nothing and get away with it. No, let’s not just move on. Let’s stop and look hard at it. He has no Hawaii birth certificate. Somebody make him adhere to the Constitution.

I can't count the number of times I've heard people say that even though Obama isn't eligible, to remove him would cause blacks to riot across the Country. These cowards are going to get their riots, anyway.

(If Barack has a memory like a steel trap, why can't he remember what the Constitution says?)
